Andre Russell Breaks Silence After Ex-KKR Star Calls Head Coach 'Militant'
Senior all-rounder Andre Russell on Thursday supported Kolkata Knight Riders' head coach Chandrakant Pandit, whose coaching style was termed “militant” by former KKR all-rounder David Wiese. Wiese, who now plies his trade for Namibia, claimed that many foreign players in the roster of KKR were frustrated by Pandit's tough style of functioning during last year's IPL. However, Jamaican Russell, an integral part of KKR's core group, sounded different. “We've been working with him from last year. I think when you're working with a coach for the first time, you have to make sure that you adjust to their philosophy. There have to be rules. We are professionals. So, we don't complain,” said Russell during the pre-match press meet.
